Some one to lean on, to confess, to be releived of our stressing thoughts.

This is when emotions multiply creating more disturbances since the moral support we receive from outside tend to be measured in terms of its quality which will either give us some satisfaction or create hatred for the person who gave the emotional support.

Then what is the way out ? Can we try to give emotional support to others rather than try to get them for ourselves ? When we focus away from our desires, needs and likes and dislikes and turn to be a support for others to lean on, thereby turning the focus away from ourselves, our necessity for emotional support drops away and we end up free of emotional blackmail by our own self !

Consequently, the mind grows stronger, self-reliant and capable to offer emotional support wisely to those in need of it without the quality of exploitation.
